Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Explore the Serengeti National Park in depth with multiple game drives through this spectacular wildlife arena. Here, you’ll have the best chance to spot iconic African animals.
Visit the Kimana Ranger Project and meet the dedicated men and women protecting Kimana Sanctuary, a vital area for migrating elephants. Hear their stories at the Ranger Training Academy and learn about the challenges they face in safeguarding wildlife.
Explore Amboseli National Park – home to the largest population of African elephants in Kenya and known for large tuskers and exquisite views of Mt Kilimanjaro on clear days.
Embark on an unforgettable safari across the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater in an open roof 4WD with your small group for a chance to see the endangered black rhinoceros in full view.
Learn about the Maasai cultures and join a local community for a guided afternoon stroll around the farming area of Mto wa Mbu, before sitting down for a traditional meal together.
Is this trip right for you?
This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your own tent (unless you’re on an Original or Comfort style trip), occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of the Big Five. While the trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have sliding windows which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie. For more info on this style of travel, see our Africa overland page: https://www.tuuur.com/africa/overland https://www.tuuur.com/africa/overland (https://www.tuuur.com/africa/overland)
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
Some passengers will have been travelling together prior to the start of this trip. You may also want to check out The Masai Heartlands if you have more time to explore in East Africa.

Such an incredible trip! We saw the Big 5, got a taste of the local culture, and the game drives made travel days feel way shorter. Huge thanks to Tim for being an awesome guide!

Nothing could have prepared me for the jaw-dropping experiences we had on this 11/10 trip. Seeing the Big 5 & the Ugly 5, Camping in the Serengeti, learning about local customs, the many game drives and bonding with our group, this is a trip I will never forget, and would recommend to everyone. Book it! As a non-camper, I was nervous but the facilities and equipment were beyond my expectations. Shout out to the best leader Tim for keeping us safe, educating us and showing us the most beautiful parts of Kenya & Tanzania.

I did this trip in conjunction with the Masai Mara trip. Very complimentary. Loved the endlessness of the Serengeti.

What a great team looking after us! But also what beautiful countries. Grateful I went on this trip. Read all the notes beforehand so was well across what I was getting into. Recommend the hot air balloon ride as an extra as well. Loved it!

This is a once in a lifetime trip. To be able to visit such culturally, environmentally and historically significant locations in the one trip, is an absolute privilege. I couldn't recommend this more.

Outstanding nature, abundant wildlife, and connecting with people - this was an incredible trip. Our leader & crew made all the difference, and we had so much fun in the small group of campers. Loved it!

Serengeti Trail tour with Intrepid was even better than my expectations. No travel guide can prepare you for the amazing sights and animals you will see. The support of the Intrepid crew just make this the best kind of holiday to take.
